Snack
Pupils eat snack outside during breaktime. They need a snack every day including Friday. Snack is ONE easy to eat item that will keep them going until lunch time e.g. 1 banana.
Water Bottle
Pupils should each bring a water bottle filled with water. If you wish for your child to have a carton of milk, please contact the school office – sign up is through Parent Pay.
Waterproof Coat
Pupils should bring a waterproof coat every day. Please put it in their bag if they do not want to wear it to school. We play outside regardless of the rain!
Name labels
Please label all of your child’s belongings. Writing on labels with a permanent marker or biro is fine.
Toys and Jewellery
Please leave toys, jewellery and pencil cases at home. We have toys and craft supplies at school and these can often get mixed up, broken, or taken by accident.
Pupils whom wear earrings are allowed to wear studs to school. If a pupil needs to wear a religious item to school, this should be discussed with the class teacher, and removed during P.E.
Learning Journals
Primary 1 use Learning Journals to share images and news with parents and carers.
A new permissions form will be coming out to you soon. We hope for a seamless transition from your Nursery experience.
We try to be available at the end of the day to chat to families however this isn’t always possible due to courses or meetings. You can e-mail the school office and a message will be passed on. admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk and title ‘For Miss Copeland’.
Your child is responsible for their own personal items.
We will always try our best to return items at the end of the day however when 28 children have red jumpers the easiest and fastest way to get your personal items back is if they are named.
Sticky labels, sewn on labels or the long standing permanent marker or biro pen – they all help!
We implore you to spend 5 minutes and write their name on those labels.
Many thanks to one and all for a wonderful year of adventures and learning. Special thanks to those adults who supported the class on trips – we are very grateful.
Please enjoy the recording of the class assembly. What a fantastic group of successful learners and confident individuals!
